Summary:
Addie recalls how Darl's birth ruptured her sense of wholeness, and how she resented Anse and Darl for that. It is at this time that she makes Anse promise to take her after she dies to Jefferson for burial. She recalls Cora saying she "was not a true mother" (173), but rejects those terms.
